Watching the US Soccer team play Algeria in the world cup on TV the other day made me think that I need to get out and exercise. As I am new to watching a lot of soccer it is hard for me to understand how the US Soccer team can win the opening bracket and not win the games. If they had lost or tied Algeria they would have been finished in World Cup play. But they scored one point and they win the bracket – which means they went from last to first on Landon Donovan’s score in overtime.

What is really interesting to me is that Jozy Altidore (link to Altidore’s twitter) made it happen as he did throughout the game as the U.S. soccer squad defeated Algeria. The US team wasn't going to give up in the World Cup challenge. So, next up on Saturday – Ghana. Where’s Ghana? Here.
